If you've read your Gramsci you know the answer, don't you?
Attending @doughtystreet.bsky.social's annual International Women's Day Conference. A large lecture theatre full of women deeply traumatized by their attempts to engage with the legal system. You have to start to wonder, who is it for?
It's International Women's Day this weekend. Afghan women & girls' rights are crushed like never before.
So I'm in Belfast to speak up with them through events curated by my amazing comrades @beyondskin.bsky.social
I've had a very hard year β this reminds me of who I am and what actually matters.
Oh, just the business vehicle of Nigel Farage masquerading as a political party breaching its obligations at Companies House.
I have literally never even briefly entertained the thought that Wes Streeting, a man with a black hole where his morality should be, "could not possibly get any worse."
I find it strangely easy to imagine Wes Streeting with an "adult human male" badge. If his advisers let Wesley be Wesley he'd be there in an instant.
Wes Streeting to don an "adult human male" badge and Shabana Mahmood to appoint Tommy Robinson as Labour's immigration Tsar.
They won't. They are going to get shafted. They are going to deserve it. And it's going to be hilarious.
An honour for us: I hope you feel beautiful and (more importantly) your true self.
We are beyond excited about this - what a line up! - and still a few tickets available for Wednesday.
βThere will be a long wait to see how children treated with puberty blockers in a new trial are doing as young adults. We would be waiting 10-15 years. The data on people now in their 20s who were treated at the Tavistock are available now.β
"We believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place."
Britain continues its rapid descent towards fascism.
Press regulator IPSO to the Daily Telegraph: βTell us how you came to publish an apparently fictional story.β
Telegraph; βNo, itβs confidential!β
IPSO: βOh, ok. Sorry to bother youβ.

And don't forget Louis Appleby, Simon Wessely and Clare Gerada all of whom are gender critical.
Sadly, I can't read it.
Thank goodness for that. And makes sense. I have deleted my tweet. And can now graciously say thank you for your kind words.
I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that all the people who Streeting takes 'expert advice' from have an easily discoverable anti-trans bias.
"Pause" for an unstated period of time is strictly accurate, rather than cancel, as @eerkeboiten.bsky.social points out.
This emerged in the High Court this morning.
Our lawyers will be writing to the Secretary of State imminently in connection with his decision to act on 'evidence' that was clearly biased and ascientific.
We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.
Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?
Have - better late than never, right? - at last set up my monthly subcription to @novaramedia.com (novaramedia.com/support/).
More and more do we need the journalism it does.
Mindblowing story. The UK met most of the costs of a key propaganda tool used by the Israeli Government to launder its genocide in Gaza - then tried to cover up the fact it had done so.
Continuity Badenoch is not the change I believe Labour promised in 2024.
Exclusive: the progressive voters abandoning Labour Daily Politics Daily Politics from the New Statesman > Ω Ω‘Ω Ω Ω Ω β’ 17m Labour is losing the voters it used to count on, a new study reveals. In the aftermath of the Green Party's triumph in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and with local elections in London councils and other major cities coming up, Labour is losing the left progressive voters it could once rely on having "nowhere else to go". Now, the biggest study ever of these voters - shared exclusively with the New Statesman - reveals the true risk to Labour's future of leaving them behind. This work, done by surveying 10,000 voters and a randomised control trial style approach, has found out who the so-called progressive defectors are, why they're deserting Labour, and what impact this could have on Labour's electoral prospects.
Worrying news at the NS podcast, where the lads have discovered millions of younger, mostly educated left/lib people get all upset and offended if you relentlessly insult them, tell them to fuck off and implement policies that they find appalling.
Also a view increasingly held at the practising bar: our judges are political and are not transparent about their politics.
This is such a cool list of TED Fellows. Am especially excited to hear Carissa Veliz, whose 'Prophecy' is going to be one of the books of the year.
Facing the open goal of a Labour Government created by a corrupt, exhausted and unlucky Tory Party, McSweeney kicked the ball aimlessly only to see it bounce off Reform and into the net.
The Party that cheers when Labour lies to itself thus is the Greens.
I am!
I understand the temptation to mock. And I certainly wouldn't dissuade anyone. But it's no fucking joke that a Labour Government is choosing to pitch roll for fascism.
